Between 1993’s ‘Songs of Faith and Devotion,’ Depeche Mode’s first No. 1 album, and ‘Ultra,’ their ninth record, the band lost multi-instrumentalist Alan Wilder, who’d had enough of the rock-star lifestyle, and nearly lost singer Dave Gahan to a drug habit that led to a suicide attempt in 1995.

As far as intros go, 'Welcome to My World' was neat but redundant, a red carpet rolled down your own front steps. Taking the stage Friday night (Sept. 6) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., Depeche Mode faced an arena full of people whose average age hovered well north of 30, and whose faith in and devotion to these broody-sexy U.K. synth-pop lifers spans decades.
